Young people ages 14 through 16 years have a chance to serve the community this summer by participating in the “Volunteen” program.

Sponsored by the city of Whittier Community Services Department, Volunteens will use talent, enthusiasm, creativity and special interests, as well as provide leadership to young children.

Volunteens will assist recreation leaders at the summer Whittier Youth Network club sites and will also have the chance to provide services at other city special events and programs throughout the summer.

Sign-ups for the Volunteen program can be made at the Whittier Community Center, 7630 Washington Ave.

In addition, there will be a mandatory parents’ meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Community Center.

For information call the Community Services Department at 562-464-3430.
